A few years ago the peoplein certai
Hection in one Of tho leading cities OF tn
State were Frustrated with malignan
disease, and upon investigation It wa
found that only those who used waite
from famous old we'll were the victims.
Professor s. A. baltimore, analyst o
the New York State Board OF Health, up
on Analysing water from the we'll found il
more deadly than tho city sewage!
The filling up Of the old we'll stopped
the ravages Of the disease. l
Not long since the writer noticed Will,
some men were making IN excavation fo
q large building, stratum Of dark coloret
earth running from near the surface L

A similar condition Of things exists in
every village and city where well water is
used, and though tho hltering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
may give them clear appearance, vet
the poison and disease remains, though
the water may look never so clear,
It Is still Worae with tho farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and tho nlops
from the kitchen eventually find their
way into the family we'll! Pr. ~
The same condition Of things exists in
our large cities, whose water supplies arc
rivera fed by little streams that carry oil
the filth and drainage from houses. This
"wator" Is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil. IS.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even the tilter
does not remove this poison, for water Of
the most deadly character NAV pass
through this filter and become clear, vet
the poison disguised is there. =
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul. "
Now in like manner the human kidneyn
act as a filter for the blood, and II they are
filled up with impurities snd become foul,
like the filter, all the blood in the oyetem
coursing through then becomes bad, for
it Ia now conceded fact that the kidneys
are the chief means whereby the blood Is
purified. These organs are filed with
Thousands OF heir-like tubes which drain
the impurities from the blood, as tho
sewer pipes drain impurities from our
houses. 49,
II ssewer pipe bresks under the house,
the Gewage escspes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so If any OF
the thousand and one little hair-like sew
er tubes OF the kidneys break down, the
entire body is affected by this awful
poison.
1t is scientific fact that tho kidneys
have few nerves OF sensation; and, conse.
quently, disease may exist in these organs
Tor long time and not DO suspected by
tho individual. 1t is impossible to filter
or take the death out Of the blood when
the least arrangement exists in these or
game, and If the blood is not filtered then
the uric acid, or kidney poison, removable
only by Warmers safe cure, accumulates
in the system and attacks any organ, pro.
dncing nine out Of ten ailments, just as
aewer gas and bad drainage produce 30
many fatal disorders. lfl
Kidney disease may be known 10 exist
If there is any marked departure from or
binary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists, and ia IT,
tensifcd, If there 10 the least neglect to
treat it promptly With that great specific,
Warmers sale cure, remedy tina. has re-.
ceived the highest recognition by scien-
ti6c men who have thoroughly inveati.
gated the character Of kidney derange-
ments.
They may not tell US that the cause OF
so many diseases in this organ ia the i'm.
pure water or any other one thing, but
this poisonous water with tia impurities
coursing constantly through thcBe deli.
cato organs undoubtedly does produce
much Of the decay and disease which
eventually terminates in the fatal Bright's
disease, Tor this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists, the to-
bacco slave, the laborer, the merchant and
the tramp, works terrible devastation
every year.
1t is well known that the liver which is
so easily thrown tout of gear" 90 they
say, very readily disturbs tbs action Of the
kidneys. That organ when deranged, i'm
niediately announces the fact by sallow
skin, constipated bowels, costed tongue
and headaches, but the kidneys when dis.
eased, struggles on for long time, and
the fact Of it's disease can only be discov-
cred by the aid OF the microscope or by
the physician who is skillful enough to
trace the most indirect effects in the sys.
tenn to the arrangement Of these organs,
as tho prime cause. ;5
The public is learning much on this
subject and when it comes TO understand
that the kidneys are the real health regu.
lators, es they are the real blood purifiers
of the system, they will escape an infinite
amount Of unnecessary suffering, and add
length Of days and happiness to their lot,
